Our Little April Fool - Happy 19th Birthday Powder

Guess Who is 19 Today?

This Girl!

We feel blessed to still have this little creature in our lives. Powder has been a part of our lives since Mommy and Daddy were married  - Powder was just a wee sprig back then. And to tell the truth, she never got much bigger. She's always weighed between 5 and 6 pounds. Such a little girl. Such a big mouth...she has the loudest meower out of all of us. As you can see, Powder thinks that she is large and in charge. Mommy says she's almost totally deaf, but she says the same thing about me - what??? Anyway - today we celebrate our littlest kitty, Mommy's heart and our darling Puff's littermate. Powder may be slowing down, but she still enjoys life and thinks that Mommy's lap is the best place in all of the world. 

Happy Birthday Powder!

Love from your brother -

  Hi There Ladies - I know - I still got it!

Thirteen Years or Thirteen Months?

Puff plays like a kitten, inhales nip, loves stinky goodness, along with a good lap to sit on and a brush through her floof. Will still deliver a wicked smack-down to her siblings and purrs like there is no tomorrow. She's the epitomy of a cat, gorgeous, mysterious, aloof and loving all at the same time. She and her sister Powder head to the vet on Monday for their geezer check-ups. Mommy still has a hard time believing that they are over 13 years old. Daddy thinks that it's her good Southwest Kansas genes.

Formerly Feral Friday

It's been a rainy few days here in O Hi O. I don't mind that one bit, this couch is very comfy and I have been enjoying lap time in the evening with Mommy. Our tiny little sister is still in her Autumn funk and Mommy is feeling very sad for her. We hope she comes out of it soon. She will come out from under the bed for Temptations and for hugs from Mommy. But as soon as she decides she has had enough - zoom! - under the bed again!
Stay dry and warm kitties and have a wonderful Friday!
SMOOCHIES!

Easy Like Sunday

With Puff and Diamond hogging Daddy's lap I think I am going to convince Mommy that she needs to take a nap this afternoon so I can get some snuggle time in. Her lap will probably be better anyway 'cause she doesn't yell at the football players on TV.

Formerly Feral Friday - Treat Seeking Missile

"Hi Mommy, since Daddy isn't here, would you please go in the kitchen with me and maybe gimme' a treat???"

"Pleeeeeeeeeezzzzzzze????
"Ha! I knew I could cute her into it!"
We miss Daddy a lot, but Mommy is doing a great job. She says that having one less lap in the house is a problem, we agree!

Happy Friday everykitty!

Thursday 13 Edition 5 - Cat Comebacks

Reasonable Comebacks To Why Every Home Should Have A Cat or 4

1. It is a proven fact we can lower blood pressure by our mere presence.
2. We are the ultimate accessory in home decor.
3. We are easier to care for than a houseplant.
4. We are the "soul" of a home.
5. We don't require an owner's manual or an extended warrenty.
6. We ask very little, but we give a lot.
7. We appreciate the simple things and don't crave expensive toys.
8. Cats know that love IS the answer.
9. We don't care if you wear WalMart or Dior, you always look beautiful to us.
10. Name another living thing that can purr away a worry.
11. We pass no judgements on the world, we just want peace.
12. Cats know that a good nap can be a cure-all for everything.
13. We'll never ask you if you've gained weight, got that raise yet or changed the oil in the car.

Bonus "thing" - We're always ready for a good snuggle!

PeeEss - Hi Mommy! Welcome home! Wanna' snuggle? It's been a sad week and I am ready to cuddle and play with you...and hey, you got any treats in that suitcase? Just wondering...

Mommy here - I'm here for FOUR WHOLE DAYS! Parker & sibs are going to get worn out from the smoochies and snuggles. My heart has been breaking this week for all of our friends who have had such sorrow and sad news. I am going to enjoy the blessings I have in the here and now. I hope you all do the same.

Let the snuggles begin!

Look Who Mommy Met Today! Bob! A Cat!

"Hi, I'm Bob, Wanna' Little Smoochy?"

As predicted, Mommy couldn't not go to the shelter in O Hi O (yeah, I know, bad grammar, but that's how I talk!). She spent the afternoon getting to know the kitties there. She can't volunteer 'till she goes through an oryintashun, but they let her meet and cuddle some fabulous felines. I just don't know how to feel about this. Daddy said that I should be happy that Mommy gave some homeless kitties a little lovin', but that's just what I don't like! The lovin' should all be for me! She's my Mommy! Mommy told Daddy that the shelter In O Hi O is way smaller than Wayside Waifs, but it was very clean and the people seemed to be taking good care of the cats. Mommy said hello to all of the feline residents, but there was one that she really got a "kitty-jones" for. That would be Bob. He's orange and has been there since 2005! The following is the shelter's description of Bob:
"Bob is a 2 1/2 old orange tiger. Bob came to our shelter with a tail injury and had to have it surgically removed. With a little time and TLC he is doing well. Bob would love to go to a new home with his best friend Cash. healing. Bob is as good as new."
Bob looks like a rumpy manx. But apparently he started life out with a tail. No one at the shelter knew if he ever had a home before. Bob was snoozing in a wicker basket when Mommy met him. She said he woke up, squinted at her and chirped "hello!" He then stood up, stretched and sauntered over to where Mommy was sitting and hopped right into her lap (her lap...sigh...). Bob has a wicked loud purr and he's a gentleman with his claws. Mommy melted and spent a long time lovin' on Bob. So everykitty, here's hoping that Bob gets a forever home very soon and that Mommy can resist his handsome and suave ways.
